The truth about blogging

I am a fairly new blogger, who knew nothing about it when I got started.  I am by no means a seasoned vet but I have discovered some truths about blogging along the way.  Please do not be offended by anything on this list, it is only my opinion based on personal experiences:


1.  You might as well find a 12 step program the day you start a blog, you will be addicted.

2.  You will be very excited about EVERY SINGLE FOLLOWER that you gain, woohoo someone is     reading this right now!

3.  Your husband (or life partner) will complain bout the hosework not getting done.

4.  You will check your blog on your phone (a lot) just to see if there are new comments.

5.  Unless you are a graphic artist/web designer/computer/adobe photoshop genius, you will be confused or stressed about something on your blog (i.e. layouts, buttons, banners, pages, labels etc.)

6.  You will be inspired by ideas or stories of fellow bloggers, so read other people's blogs!

7.  You will NOT win every giveaway that other bloggers have (please Pioneer Woman, have another iPad giveaway...PLEASE!)

And last but not least:

8.  Your husband (or life partner) will look at you funny at least one time while you are blogging, and tell you you spend way too much time on the computer.

Happy Blogging!

Oh, so true!

It got worse when I added my blog email to my blackberry, so I see that little light every time I get a new comment. It's an addiction.

I totally thought I won't that ipod from Pioneer Woman. I even emailed her to claim it. It was a different Heather who answered like five minutes (and 200 commenters) before me.
I agree with all of this list, but my husband was used to me ignoring the housework.
